She had spent the last week gathering bits and pieces of information that, when assembled like a puzzle, painted a disturbing picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, for the first time, she had enough pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clicked the next video file. The screen flickered, then stabilized. What she saw made her breath pause, as if someone had suddenly pressed a hand on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two voices. Hans and Lovely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tones... their expressions... their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt her stomach tighten painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched the entire recording without blinking. Once. Twice. A third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, she didn’t know whether she wanted to vomit or scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For several minutes, she simply sat still, frozen, the weight of everything pressing down on her. ’Should I tell Dad? Should I tell him everything right now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand moved toward her phone involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tightly, she shut her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No. Even if I tell him... what would change? He’ll hurt, he’ll break, he might even make reckless decisions. This has to be dealt with legally. Properly. We need unshakable proof.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a trembling exhale, she pushed the phone away and reopened the feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed. The sun shifted across the room. Her eyes burned from staring at the screen, but she didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then... finally... she found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location of the pen drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the scene carefully. Lovely’s room. A tiny black locker under the shelf. And the old woman had gone out of her way to hide the password from even her own son and grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s where it is.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clicked out of the feed, closed her laptop, and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to call a family meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..........................................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex arrived looking as if he had seen a horror movie in real life. His eyes were haunted, dark circles, pale cheeks, the whole package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia entered next, both lost in their thoughts. Olivia’s steps were slow, thoughtful, while Adriana looked distracted, her fingers tapping her phone nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas walked in while texting his girlfriend lovingly, as if nothing else in the world mattered. Theodore was just Theodore... quiet, idle, acting as if he had been dragged into a room full of chaos he didn’t ask for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora turned toward Adriana hopefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even she was too busy laughing softly at something Peter had texted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt her eyelid twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora sighed internally. ’These people. Not one of them is paying attention. Meanwhile, our parents’ entire lives are on the edge.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cleared her throat loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone here?\" Aurora asked, trying to grab their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her siblings were scattered across the couches and chairs like a group of misbehaving students forced into detention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone,\" she said, \"I called this meeting because I finally found the pen drive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas’s head snapped up instantly. Theodore straightened. Even Olivia and Adriana focused on one unified movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex, eyes haunted, simply whispered, \"Where?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora inhaled slowly. \"I’ve been monitoring the cameras for the past week. The pen drive... is in Lovely’s room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several jaws tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora continued, \"She hid the password from both her son and grandson. And from the other recordings, I got to know that Hans and Milo are planning to send Lovely to an old-age home once they get the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia clicked her tongue sharply. \"Pathetic. Honestly expected from trash like them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore rubbed his temples and said softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... before involving the police, we can show Lovely the evidence? Maybe she’ll realize the truth and support Dad instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana shook her head immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Too risky. She’s been biased since birth. If Milo simply kneels and cries a few crocodile tears, she’ll forgive him instantly. She’ll even protect him. Worse, she may panic after realizing we planted cameras and turn everything around on us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas nodded. \"I agree with Adriana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex tapped the table rhythmically, his jaw tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead of telling Granny anything, we should just retrieve the pen drive ourselves. Let Milo and Hans jump around in confusion later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora swallowed hard, then said quietly, \"Before we plan that... I have something else to tell you. And it’s big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All five heads turned toward her simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air thickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora took a deep breath. \"There’s a ninety-nine percent chance... that Dad isn’t related to Lovely at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the light kind. Not the confused kind. The heavy, suffocating, horrifying kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at her. No one moved. No one blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The siblings stared at Aurora as if she had just declared earthquakes were allergic to gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Aurora wondered if they were breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Olivia slammed her palm against the table. \"What proof? Show us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora flinched slightly... Olivia rarely raised her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Aurora reached into her bag and pulled out her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a recording,\" she said. \"Lovely... indirectly said Dad isn’t their blood. Her exact words: ’A beast like Adam was never our blood.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia frowned deeply. \"That’s not enough. That could mean anything. Why do you think she meant it literally?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora swallowed hard. \"Because Dad has a rare genetic condition... kleptomania. And on Lovely’s side of the family... no one has it. Not even distantly. The probability of a mutation is low. Too low. Combined with her wording... It’s suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tapped her phone again and played another recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milo’s voice echoed through the room: \"Adam? Related to us? He never was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The siblings stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana closed her eyes. Lucas cursed under his breath. Theodore’s usually calm expression cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora paused the audio. \"This proves they knew. But unfortunately, it’s not strong enough for court.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sat in tense silence until...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll handle it,\" Olivia said suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every head whipped toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked. \"Handle it? How? What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia calmly took out her phone. \"I’ve joined a special investigative group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held the screen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The siblings gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name of the app flashed boldly, a rising social media platform rumored to have a direct connection with police cyber-monitoring teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A platform known for its strict authenticity checks, no-nonsense regulation, and a private unit dedicated to policing digital crimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... what?\" Lucas whispered. \"You joined... them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded. \"Three years ago. I’ve been part of their internal department. I gained influence, connections, access, and certain legal privileges.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora felt a buzzing in her ears. ’No... this has to be a prank. Olivia? Miss Artist? Miss Quiet Painter? Joined a police-connected department?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia continued calmly, \"Painting is just a side hustle. My real path... is law enforcement. I’ve already applied to become a full officer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s jaw fell open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t alone. Theodore looked stunned. Adriana blinked repeatedly. Lucas looked as if Olivia had just confessed to being a secret ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora finally managed to speak. \"You’re joining the police force? You? The painter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia smiled faintly. \"Yes. I’ve been training since you were in a coma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora groaned softly. ’This girl... seriously...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head and asked, \"So... do you have a legal method to prove Dad isn’t their blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite a few, actually. First,\" she began, raising one finger, \"a court-sanctioned DNA test can be forced if enough circumstantial evidence suggests fraud or human trafficking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second,\" Olivia continued, \"we can request an investigation into father’s childhood paperwork. If records are falsified, altered, or missing, it becomes a criminal offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora exhaled shakily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third,\" Olivia said, \"if we prove that father was taken in without proper documentation or consent... then it becomes a human trafficking case. And fourth...\" she paused, glancing at Alex and Theodore, \"we can file charges for exploitation and abuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex clenched his fists, trembling with controlled anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora placed a hand over her heart. ’Thank God Olivia is in our family...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia set her phone down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my connections, we can legally force a DNA verification order, seize the pen drive as evidence, and get Lovely, Hans, and Milo investigated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s eyes filled with moisture... not sadness, but relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can finally protect Dad,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded. \"Yes. And this time... we’ll do it properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meeting was over, no one left; instead, everyone looked at Olivia as if waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>",1468,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","37c69ade3b01d362de0bc05215c48bb7f81c513d6e2ced6ffdecf8a312af4e2f","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-453","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-451",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
